Jared Boechler is a contemporary visual artist based out of Canada. He works and exhibits internationally, including New York, Asia, and Europe. He has recently been awarded working fellowships at Serlachius Museum, Finland, Sheen Center for Thought + Culture in New York, USA and Art Biotop, Japan.
Boechler was recently recognized at the Governor General History Awards for his work, presided over by the Honourable Governor General of Canada, as well as presenting as the youngest exhibiting artist at NordArt, Germany. Using traditional methods in sharp contemporary context, Boechlers work challenges views of loneliness and isolation with an often subtle execution, resulting in works depicting circumstances that are at once banal and dramatic.
Boechler's most significant exhibition to date paired custom-designed scents alongside the original oil paintings they inspired. The olfactory element attached to this body of work introduced a largely new method of working in the world of contemporary art; a process led by scent influence. His current practice involves the use of traditional, installation, and
olfactory art.
